Common Grounds is run in partnership with Wesley Urban Ministries’ Neighbourhood and Newcomer Services program.

Common Grounds student volunteers meet with newcomer Syrian refugees in cafés, engaging them in conversation and companionship. The goal is to help them improve speaking skills and to help them feel a sense of inclusion and connection within their community.

Neighbour to Neighbour is hosting a Turkey Drive at Fortinos as part of their Holiday Program. This program provides celebration essentials to over 1,600 families over the course of the first 3 weeks in December.

Within two weeks, the donated turkeys will be delivered to those clients who, because of medial reasons, are unable to come in person to pick up food for their holiday celebration of large families who visit their food bank.

Volunteer Roles include:

Entrance volunteer: lets customers know as they enter the store that all turkeys donated that day will benefit Neighbour to Neighbour

Meat department volunteer: answers questions about the turkey drive, Neighrbour to Neighbour, and the Christmas program (information will be provided ahead of time so volunteers are comfortable speaking to customers)

Check out volunteer: receives the turkey donations from customers and takes the turkeys to the designated refrigerated area
